You're not rambling, on the contrary, I like what you have to say.

I feel like the humanity itself is the "monkeys on typewriters" metaphor. The more people we have thinking, feeling, talking, interacting, problem solving, the faster we create, the greater we build, the more powerful we become.

Yep. To me, theorizing about events is fun. Speculation is fun. I'm a writer, so thinking about this kind of stuff gives me all kinds of wild ideas. I'll make one up right now: asteroid trajectory is along the route of JADE HELM, and the major impact looks like the West Coast. The government has been diverting resources and hammering California for everything it is worth in the past decade (the second part is definitely a real fact though). The impact would cause chaos, the military is already in place to keep things under control.
